Beautiful water side day of Tokyo

Brenda_S, Oct 2023

I had an incredible day with Miho. She made sure I saw the things I was interested in, and share lots of information and history. We had a few surprise encounters with a Sumo wrestler, a Manaray and jellyfish as we walked the bayside. We share a lovely traditional Japanese lunch. I truly enjoyed the day !!!

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for send us such an awesome review! I also really enjoyed every single moment with you ! Especially, We met Sumo wrestlers at RYOGOKU, chatted with them, and saw a few kinds of sea creatures at the Tokyo bay. When we had a lovely lunch, you tried to take chopsticks very much, that impressed me! Hope you come back and continue exploring JAPAN! See you soon！　MIHO

Awesome and inspiring

I think we liked the beauty of Hama Rikyu Garden best. Our guide Seizo was very helpful in providing background information for each place we visited. He was very welcoming.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you very much for your very valuable and favorable comments on my guiding. It was a great honor for me to have the opportunity to guide you in Tokyo. I myself enjoyed visiting popular sightseeing spots in Tokyo including Sumida River Cruise and Hama Rikyu Garden with you. I wish you the very best for the future. Best Regards Seizo Kamiuto

Fun and interesting

Our guide, Shuji, was the best. He paid attention to our 10 year old twin grandsons, made sure they were having a good time, even taught them how to pray at the shrine & temple. Fabulous day!!

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Hi! Thank you very much for your high evaluation of my guide. I am glad to know that your party have had a good time during the tour. I clearly remember I also spent a wonderful time visiting Nezu Shinto Shrine, Asakusa Semsoji Buddhism Temple and Hama-Rikyu Garden with your family, especially with your lovely twin boys. Please give my best regards to your family. Thank you！ Shuji

Tokyo Wish List

ViatorTours, Apr 2023

The best part was the fact the tour was not a cookie cutter tour but our guide tailored it to our wishes. We focused on going only to places we requested. The complexity of the Tokyo Transport System cannot be exaggerated; we could not have navigated it without the guide’s help. Our guide, Seiji was helpful, mindful of our wishes and knowledgeable of the city. A delight to know.

Response from Host, Apr 2023

Thank you for giving me a such a high evaluation. I hope you back to Keio Plaza hotel safely. Please find a time to visit Japan again. I will arrange to show you more Hokusai’s and Lions.
